According to this guy, his wife comes from a “family of fat people.” He claims that most of the people in her family are bigger, and when he met his wife, he also thought she was “quite chubby.”

However, his wife’s doctor eventually recommended that she lose weight, and she did.

Still, he believes that his wife’s family just eats too much. Apparently, they always say, “What is eaten is what is safe,” which means that leaving “satisfied,” or full, is better than having a lot of material items.

“Because when you die, you will not be able to take them with you, but at least you enjoy a good meal when you are alive,” he explained.

So, his wife doesn’t like to purchase things like new clothing, shoes, makeup, or jewelry. Instead, she likes to just buy food and prefers to spend her funds on that as opposed to other things.

He doesn’t agree with this, though, since he’s realized that his wife no longer owns clothes that are in good condition. In fact, he claimed that most of his wife’s garments are discolored, have holes in them, or are just very obviously worn down.

That’s why he recently decided to give his wife a “good amount of money” to spend on some new clothes and shoes.

“And I must say that my wife has always been honest when it comes to money, so she gave me all the invoices,” he noted.

However, upon looking at the receipts, he realized that his wife had only used a quarter of the money to buy clothes. And with the rest of the funds, she just bought enough food for “several days” and, according to him, a lot of junk food.

At that point, he was furious and pointed out how he’d given his wife that money to spend on clothing, not more food. But his wife didn’t see the big issue.

“The food is for me, for us,” she responded.

Regardless, he was livid and actually started screaming at his wife to “stop eating so much.” He also claimed that she was “going to become obese.”

This pushed his wife to break down in tears, and she wound up locking herself in the bathroom afterward.

In hindsight, he realizes that yelling at her was likely the wrong way to handle the situation.

‘But I gave her the money for clothes, and I’m worried about her doing this kind of thing because we’re planning to have a baby,” he vented.

“What guarantees me that she will not stop buying the baby’s necessary things for food?”

Still, with his wife also upset with him, he can’t help but wonder if yelling at her for “eating so much” was really a jerk move.

Is it possible that he’s just genuinely concerned about his wife’s health and their finances? Even so, did he handle this situation the right way? How should he reconcile this issue with his wife?
